Whereas SC Bern is expected to officially confirm the transfer of the 32-year-old Canadian Chuck Kobasew after July 1, also the chances that Simon Moser, 25, will return seem to be pretty good. Until today, the Swiss international has not received a qualifying offer from the Nashville Predators. "Almost certainly", Moser will wear the SCB jersey next season, Watson's Klaus Zaugg predicts.
After the bankruptcy of the EHC Basel Sharks, SC Bern is also looking for new partner teams. Still according to the same source, they will probably strive for a partnership with EHC Visp, HC Ajoie, and the SCL Tigers to provide their young players with ice time at the NLB level.
